Not really a wine/cider question but hope someone can help?

I have a few batches of slow gin, damson gin, blackberry scotch ect. Want to filter it as there are a few sediment like bits that a muslin wont stop.
I heard about using coffee filters? Anyone tried this?
 
in coffee yes. not for wines. Time is the best filter. If you need to filter use a proper wine filter, Vinbrite or similar
 
The fruit i can pick out and is easy to remove. if i wet a wine filter and sit it in a funnel (remembering back to school science lessons) would this suffice. i dont really want to let it all settle out as the sediment would be carried in the spirits the bottom and thats expensive waste when its good scotch and gin?

wine and cider im not so fussed about the waste but have limited spirit nectar!

Vinbrites are fine if you're polishing a few gallons and can afford to lose half a pint, but I don't think that's the case here.

Coffee filter could be worth a try.

Wine filter pads in a funnel: Forget it :nono:
They need a head of pressure to operate properly, you're just going to soak up the pad and get a few drips through it.
